Hi,

I've been trying to find a way to state an --exclude that would copy a
specific directory name (if it exists) but no files within that directory.
If I go "--exclude directoryname/" I get neither directory nor files. If I
go "--exclude directoryname/*" I get both (which seems wrong). If I go
"--exclude directoryname**" I get neither. If I give the whole path (which
in this case has a * in it at an intermediate point - it being a
subdirectory which occurs under some user directories) I get both. I'm
beginning to think the syntax just can't give me a directory if I want it
w/out the files therein. And I suppose it's rare to want it.

But is there a way?

Thanks,
